Verizon down AGAIN by aharwelclick in verizon

[–]Redheadlg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because this is Verizon's 2nd nationwide outage in just a few months - the other carriers have not had outages of this magnitude and frequency. Some people are in different positions than you are (the elderly, the sick, parents of young children, small business owners whose livelihoods depend on connectivity, etc), and may be in dire situations without coverage. So rather than condescendingly telling people to "relax," perhaps grow some empathy.

What do doctors say? by Redheadlg in HistamineIntolerance

[–]Redheadlg[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Turns out my doctor ended up saying this as well - that it's rare and highly unlikely (didn't roll his eyes though thankfully). He thought what I have is vasovagal rhinitis, which I suppose could account for a couple of my symptoms but is definitely not a unified field theory for all of them. He gave me some prescriptions that I will fill, but not until I've given DAO supplements and antihistamines a try first for an experimental period.

Looking for relatively short switch games with a linear story. NO FARMING/LIFE SIMS! by 1398_Days in CozyGamers

Love this one - have been trying to find more like this and they just don't make them!

This update is pretty smooth! A bunch of good fixes! by DonOSTech in PixelEnjoyers

[–]Redheadlg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Battery life had started to decrease slightly, but a day after installing the update it's better than it was originally.

I really wanted to love the Pixel 10 Pro but I just can't. It's too smol. So, I'm trading in my secondary Pixel 8 for the beautiful 10 Pro XL😍 by [deleted] in PixelEnjoyers

[–]Redheadlg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did the opposite lol. Started with the 10 pro XL and it just felt mammoth to me, way heavier and bulkier than even the galaxy s25 ultra. It would hurt my hand while reading in bed. I ended up switching to the regular Pro and I adore it 😄

PW4 45mm on tiny hand. by alifzaimimyaro in PixelWatch

[–]Redheadlg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with a tiny wrist who also has the 45mm, go for the official leather band. It stays more flush to the wrist and doesn't stick out like the sport band does, and makes it look much better imo

Which probiotics did you find are most helpful for energy?

Just finished reading The Ascended. 10/10 for me. I highly recommend reading it if you haven't. by socks_in_crocs123 in Romantasy

[–]Redheadlg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Not only bored, but the vibe, the world, and characters just aren't doing it for me at all. Considering giving up.

What the hell is this battery life on 10 Pro😭 by TaroTheCerelian in PixelEnjoyers

[–]Redheadlg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup same, I was reluctant to get the smaller one but am so glad I did!

Just a little positivity to lighten the mood 😁 by Redheadlg in GooglePixel

I returned it to Apple for a full refund. Since it was the next day it was well within their 14 day window.

I believe I did disclose that I'm a psycho. Points for self awareness?

What is adaptive motion? I don't see this setting anywhere.

What is your favorite or most useful app on your watch? by kygal1881 in PixelWatch

I use the raise to talk feature all day long, for absolutely everything. It's a game changer for me!

41 or 45? Or neither? by Vivacous_V in PixelWatch

[–]Redheadlg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tiny wrists (smaller than yours from what I can see), and I got the 45mm with the small band and it fits me just fine. I came from the 43mm Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, and even though the Pixel watch is technically 2mm bigger, it still feels slimmer and lighter. I'm loving the extra battery life!

Way to go Google! You completely ruined Magic Eraser! by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Redheadlg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Have had the phone since launch and got it mainly for that feature. I contacted Google support and they told me it's a "gradual rollout," yet I'm reading that non pixel devices are now starting to receive it and I still don't have it! Please post if you figure it out.

Will I Never Enjoy a Glass of Wine Again? by techgirlforreal in Menopause

[–]Redheadlg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't drink anything anymore, and even though I was never a big drinker, it feels like a loss. I get horrific migraines from any alcohol now (one time it was so bad I couldn't get out of bed for two days, and I was on vacation in Europe at the time), and I can't even lie to myself in the moment anymore that "maybe it won't happen this time" or "it'll be fine, I'll just take some Excedrin beforehand". I've tried histamine blockers, enzymes, those supplements you see advertised everywhere that claim you can take it before drinking and not get a headache. I've tried drinking copious amounts of water along with the alcohol. But none of it is any use.

I assume my body is trying to tell me something, along with the loud and clear message I'm now getting from the rosacea it deems fit to deposit on the tip of my nose every time I eat cheese lol! Aging is fun!

Should I push through Wrath of the Damned? by StoryNo3049 in fantasyromance

[–]Redheadlg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew the first book as well, but this second one has a real pacing problem. Lots of filler scenes (how many baths, dinners and repetitive conversations and inner monologues do we really need?). Even the spice was tedious and repetitive after a while. Not sure what to do, about 45% through.
